Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Vacuum

Expert Review

Dyson is constantly pushing vacuum cleaning technology forwards, finding new ways to make their machines more powerful, more efficient, and more convenient. With this innovation comes a hefty price tag, but many people find the premium worth paying.

The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy uses Dyson’s new Cinetic technology, which features high frequency, oscillating tips to keep dust from building up and restricting air flow. Because of this, Dyson no longer uses a filter before the motor thus making this the first filterless vacuum; this means no maintenance is required along with consistent suction. Thanks to the vacuum being completely sealed and its use of HEPA filtration, this vacuum is a good choice for allergy sufferers.

Useful, basic vacuuming attachments are included, including a tangle-free turbine attachment. The Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy is quite heavy at just under 20 pounds, but Dyson says this is intentional for better stability. As to be expected, maneuverability is excellent but the oversized ball makes reaching underneath low furniture a challenge.

Cleaning performance of the Cinetic vacuums isn’t necessarily better than a comparable model (such as Dyson’s excellent DC65 Animal), but the promise of consistent performance and less long-term maintenance will appeal to many. As with all of their models, the Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy is AAFA-certified and comes with a five year warranty.Rating: 4.5/5
